I have two pathan teachers and they both speak pushto completely differently. Meaning, when I go to one to learn something, or when I converse with the other, I get completely different response[s] as to what I did get from the other. Why is this? I'm confused. :S

You mean yourself.

regional dialects

theres the "yousufzai pashto" and then the "tribal pashto" as people call it

oh btw, during one of the weddings i heard this super beautiful song! slow for the occasion but nevertheless mind blowing! i was wondering if anyone could translate it for me.. its by hamayoon khan grana da grana .. i could put out the lyrics as well..

nogran gujjars (orginal tribe of area in my dads village) a pahari gujjar type language since my dads tribe is ruling tribe i'm guessing their language has been influenced and they have influenced my dads tribe language,

pasho dialect/type spoken in mams village among older generation)
got these sentences translated from our hindko dialect to pashto dialect spoken in their village by my uncle, so wrote them down best i could

Given the overlap in between these languages, I'd say it doesn't matter which one he learns first. Should he know either one of them, then he could easily learn the other.

One thing I learned about Pashto : Persian-speakers consider it almost a pidgin form of Farsi. One of my Persian friends said to me that I should devote my time learning Farsi. If I know Farsi (and since Urdu is my mother tongue), then I'll "automatically" know pashto!

Pashto is like Urdu? But they sound so different.

But yeah, I've heard Pashto and Farsi are similar too.

Just because my team doesn't win doesn't mean they aren't the best in the world.

I think that "yakkh" ("cold") is a word that even (some) Punjabis use, but with a combination of another word. Hence, they say, "Thannda yakkh paani!" Often used in phrases to scold the maid when she was instead supposed to 'prepare' warm water for your bath. *Village life secrets and memories.*
